Devil King's Overbearing Love: Volume 2

By Xiao HuoHuo

She thought that her deep love would only be treating her as a chess piece. After using her, she wouldn't even be able to match up to a beggar.

She quietly watched as his beauty lingered in her arms, lingering on, just so her heart could die. However, when he suddenly looked back due to the secret knot in her womb, he realized that the one who had been protecting her the entire time was him …

CHAPTER 101 - CARBUNCLE

The palace maids had long been scared to death by Xi Men Rui Xue's murderous gaze. None of them dared to take a deep breath. When they heard that she wanted them to leave, all of them flew out resentfully.

Inside the hall, Cui'er was the only one trembling as she approached Xi Men Rui Xue, Your Majesty, please ask, Cui'er will tell you the truth.

Has Ruoruo's body been unwell in the past few days?

Cui'er thought for a moment before saying, It's just that a few days ago, I ate my stomach and vomited in disgust. Afterwards, the imperial physician gave me some medicine to eat so that I can recover.

Which imperial physician is it? Call him over immediately. Her voice was as loud as a bell, and the faint blue veins on the back of her fair hands were pulsing. If she had known earlier …

Her gaze swept in the direction of the room, her eyes looking like the sleeping Qin Zhiruo. If she had known earlier, it would have proved that she was doing it on purpose. Thinking of this, he really wanted to strangle her.

In less than the time it took to boil a cup of tea, the imperial physician was led in by a young eunuch. When he saw Ximen Ruixue, his forehead was already covered in cold sweat, and he had already guessed that Ximen Rui Xue must be pregnant because of the family member, Qin Zhiruo. However, he did not understand why the emperor was so concerned about Qin Zhiruo.

Your servant greets the Emperor.

Also, she did not let him get up. Xi Men Rui Xue said coldly: Last time, what was the cause of your illness? And how did you do it? He didn't even give the imperial physician time to think.

I …

With a peng sound, the teacup in his hand landed on the table. Quickly tell me, I don't have any patience.

His voice made the imperial physician's entire body tremble with fear. He quickly kowtowed and said, At that time, after this servant checked her pulse, I felt that this young lady's pulse was like that of a wedding vein, but this servant has never been good at this type of treatment and feared that taking her pulse would go wrong. Thus, I asked this young lady and Lady Cui'er to call Imperial Physician Zhang for a new diagnosis. Saying that, the imperial physician glanced at Cui'er, hoping that she would testify for him.

Go on. Xi Men Rui Xue roared. She already understood that Ruo Ruo must have known about it back then, but she could hide it from Cui Er. She did not know how many things she was hiding from him.

This is all I know. I don't know anything else. When the imperial physician remembered Ruo Ruo's warning, and saw that Ximen Rui Xue was currently infuriated, it meant that he still did not know of the agreement he made with Qin Zhiruo, so he decided to bet on it.

Cui'er, did you call for Imperial Physician Zhang afterwards? He had heard of that imperial physician before. He was the imperial physician that the imperial concubines trusted the most, and he had never missed out on his wedding vein. However, he was already old, so it would be difficult for the imperial concubine to move against him, excluding the one with the highest position in the palace.

No, later on, Miss said she just had a bad stomach and said she didn't need to trouble Imperial Physician Zhang, so … Cui'er whispered, she already knew that she was being careless.

Then, do you know about the matter of Ruo Ruo being pregnant?

Your Majesty, please forgive me. Cui'er doesn't know that Cui'er only found out after today's incident.

Xi Men Ruoxue's gaze once again turned to the imperial physician who was still kneeling on the ground. Tell me, did you tell her that she was pregnant? He had always felt that there was something fishy about this matter. Otherwise, if it was an unexpected event, if she didn't know about it before falling into the water, then she definitely wouldn't have fallen asleep and would have started babbling about children.

The imperial physician knew that Xi Men Rui Xue had guessed it, so he dared not hide it anymore. He prostrated himself and said: This servant deserves to die, Miss Qin once asked this servant, and this servant told her about my suspicions. But this servant only said that this servant was suspicious, and this servant was not good at putting these kinds of phenomena. After saying this with fear and trepidation, he did not even dare to look at Ximen Ruixue anymore. He only felt that the surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that only his breathing could be heard.

Pull it down and lock it up. Xi Men Ruoxue said with a cold voice.

Spare me, your majesty, spare me! This servant really didn't say anything random!

With a wave of her hand, Xi Men Rui Xue no longer wanted to look at the imperial physician. The child was gone, and in fact, he was also responsible.

He called over Imperial Physician Zhang to treat her once more. Only when he was certain that the child was gone and that there were no other major problems did he relax a bit.

Seeing the conflicted expression on Ximen Ruixue's face, Imperial Physician Zhang could faintly guess what was going on. Then, he gathered up his courage and said, Your majesty, even if Miss Qin's fetus wasn't an accidental miscarriage, it wouldn't be easy to keep it.

Why? Ximen Rui pursued his words in a low voice, feeling a little more at ease in his heart because of what Imperial Physician Zhang had said.

This old official has taken Miss Qin's pulse as if she had been poisoned not long ago. Although the poison has been resolved, from what I have seen, the fetus was conceived when Miss Qin was poisoned. It is very likely that the fetus was infected by the poison in the mother's womb, so it would be very difficult to survive even if it was left alive. Imperial Physician Zhang said those words carefully, afraid that he would infuriate Xi Men Rui. If that was the case, then he would be in the same fate as that Imperial Physician that he was dragged out of just now.

When Imperial Physician Zhang had finished speaking, Ximen Ruixue placed her hand on her forehead and thought for a while. Then, she said in a low voice, Step down. We reward you with a hundred silver taels.

Though he was pained, his heart was more or less at ease after hearing Imperial Physician Zhang's explanation.

When he returned to Ruo Ruo's room, he rushed back to the palace before heading directly to Jingyang Palace. Outside the door, Fu Qing's voice could be heard. Your majesty, do you still want to go to the empress dowager's place?

With a wave of his hand, he lost all patience, No, let her rest.

Yes. A hint of surprise appeared on Fu Qing's face. He did not expect Ximen Ruoxue to make such a decision. However, he did not say anything as he left the room.

When he hugged the girl into his arms, he could smell a faint fragrance coming from his nose. As he looked into Ruo Ruo's eyes, he sighed even more deeply in his heart. Many things could not be said, could not be said.

This was the unspoken consequence, but he was only one step away from true power. Only then would he be able to truly protect his woman's safety.

But at dawn, when she slowly woke up, she was still alone in her bed. There was only a faint fragrance floating in the air, making her frown, she looked at Cui Er who was in front of her bed, fast asleep, and whispered: Has he come? At the same time, a few novel stories about Qin Zhiruo that she didn't know about started to flash through her mind. She finally understood a bit of everything.

Cui'er was startled, Who came?

Your majesty. Was he here to see her joke? Thinking about it was laughable, she was just that unlucky. The few times she had physical interactions with a man made her pregnant.

Ah … Cui Er did not expect Ruo Ruo to ask this as soon as she opened her eyes. She called out in a low voice, Your majesty, the emperor has come.

Did the Emperor come to see how my child died? She bit her lips. When she talked about her child, her tears gushed out like a spring. The discomfort from her lower body told her that her child had truly disappeared, completely disappearing from her stomach. But she … she was actually the executioner who killed her child with her own hands.

The strange look of sorrow on Ruo Ruo's face frightened Cui'er. Miss, no, no, the emperor ordered all the servants to serve the lady and let her take care of her body. The child can be taken away if she is gone, but she can't be sad.

Really? Her tearful smile actually made her face seem rather pitiful instead of contradictory and sudden.

It's true, young lady. The kitchen has cooked some rice porridge. Would you like some? Imperial Physician Zhang and the Emperor both explained that this Xiao Yuanzi had to sit down no matter what, not only did he have to eat well, he also had to make her in a good mood. But look, she had only just opened her eyes, and her tears flowed out.

Zhiruo nodded, Eat. Only after eating would she have strength. Regardless of whether she would wear it back or not, she still wanted a good body.

Cui'er went to carry the porridge. A few memories from the past came back to Ruo Ruo's mind. They were under the grape arbors in Qin Manor. She insisted with her hand that she would not marry, while she said that she would not marry.

It turned out that the frail Qin Zhiruo from before also had her own thoughts …

On the other hand, from time to time, Xi Men Ruoxue would come to the Qin Manor to see Qin Zhilan and often find an opportunity to tease her. At that time, Xi Men Ruixue and Qin Zhiqing would often compete in secret.

Thinking of this, she felt apologetic in her heart. If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have been able to injure her at all.

This kind of thing happened in this world.

He gloomily stayed in his room. The window could not be opened, and the door could not be opened either. Fortunately, it was autumn, otherwise, this airless room would really be suffocating to the point of death.

Other than lying down, she could not get out of bed. She could not walk around, and even her right to read was taken away. When she woke up, she would guard the bed with a blank look, which made her feel like she was about to go crazy.

When he pushed the door open and entered, Zhiruo thought her eyes were blurry. She rubbed it again and again, but the person in front of her was still so clear.

Stop rubbing, I'm coming. Laughing, a happy expression appeared on his face.

The Emperor allowed you to enter? That night, she and Su Ming had just arrived at Xi Men Rui's palace, and he had been forcefully escorted to Xi Men Rui Wu's palace.

That's right, Brother Wu asked for it. The Emperor agreed to it. Ruo Ruo, I think Brother Wu is a good person as well, and Li Fengyin is also a good person. Ruo, why are all the men of ancient times so good? Alright, she started to let her thoughts run wild. As soon as she entered the door, she asked Zhiruo casually. She had been learning Chinese for a month, so although her Chinese was a little awkward, it was understandable.

CHAPTER 102 - LABYRINTH

Hey, don't you care about my life or death at all? to talk about your men. Her face was dark, and she intentionally turned her head away from him.

That's not it. I brought you something good today.

What? She turned her head back in curiosity, but it seemed like she wasn't angry at all. She already knew what kind of person he was. Even though he had a woman's face and body, his personality was like a kid.

He placed his hand on his chin and said mysteriously, It's the thing you want.

Watch? She had only ever asked for that from him.

Hey, can you not guess it instantly? It's way too fast, right? How boring. A Lei looked at her with regret. He didn't seem very willing.

Then let me guess again. Say, is it a fan? However, this was the kind of person who liked her for being so heartless. That was why Xi Men Rui liked her, while Li Fengyin also refused to go around in the capital trying to trick him.

No need to guess. It's really boring. It's just a watch. However, the battery doesn't seem to have any electricity. You'd better choose a sunny day before moving on. That way, you might be able to wear the battery back.

Give it to me. Thinking of her own child, thinking of the heartless Xi Men Rui Xue, Ruo Ruo really wanted to wear them back now.

Then you have to help me choose between Xi Men Rui Wu and Li Feng.

Although it was still soft, it still made him furrow his brows, Qin Zhiruo, why did you do that to me?

You, all you have on your mind is handsome men, I'm going back, what about you? Seeing that Cui Er had not come back yet, Zhiruo asked worriedly.

Hehe, I checked my backpack the day before yesterday and there are actually two identical watches inside. You can put them back on and take a handsome guy back with you when I'm tired of playing in the ancient times.

You …

I what? He stuck out his tongue and grinned. I don't know if I'll be able to wear it again next time, so it'll be a waste if I don't bring it with me.

You only know how to bring handsome men, not me, I want to bring something that I can use with me.

Bring what? Immediately, his interest was piqued.

I've decided to take a lot of things with me when I go back.

You want to go back and open a shop? After knocking on Ruo Ruo's head, he looked at Ruo Ruo with a puzzled expression.

Jin Ming, have you ever thought about the fact that the things brought back from here can be considered as ancient items? Even a bowl and a plate can be considered priceless. Do you think ten of them would be enough for me? She really wanted to go home and take a look at her little place. She didn't know if it was still empty, but thinking back to how long she had been here, that little place must have been rented out already.

Enough. You are even greedier than me. I am only one person, yet you want to bring so many things.

Why are you bringing people, and why are you giving them food and clothes? Men here are like antiques, they don't know how to do anything yet they want me to make money to raise them. I don't want anything else, I want to bring some good stuff like embroidery. The more he thought about it, the happier he became. A child without anything else could really be taken, but he couldn't really want a child that even had a father, right?

While the two were happily chatting, Cui Er had already brewed some tea. As soon as she stepped over the threshold, the room was filled with the fragrance of tea, very fragrant, Ruo Ruo, the tea here is really good, all the food here is green, there is absolutely no fertilizer. Ruo Ruo, please bring some …

Cough … Ruo Ruo covered her mouth and started to cough. The words' A Chi 'really made her speechless. Besides, everyone knew that she was going to wear it back. When the weather cleared up, she would definitely be locked in here.

He obediently drank the Imperial Tea in the palace. The color of the tea was still green, but he made Cui Er listen to his words and took note of them in her heart. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't understand why he wanted her to bring the tea with him. However, she had to report this to Ximen Ruixue. Otherwise, if anything really went wrong and Ximen Ruixue found out about it, she would definitely be punished by Ximen Ruixue again.

This time, he didn't formally spare her, saying that he would first wait for the 'Xiao Yuezi' to appear before doing anything else.

The two chatted for a while longer, and compared to the other people in the palace, they were much more comfortable, at least they could speak freely and not be so formal. They really liked being together, and seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, Ruo Ruo took the opportunity before Cui'er mentioned that she was going to send him away, and said: Su Ming, stay for dinner.

All right, girl, I've told the kitchenette to prepare dinner for the two of you. The emperor had said that no matter what he did, he would just let her be happy. He said that Xiao Yuanzi would definitely be happy. Seeing that she was happily chatting with him, Cui'er had long since prepared his dinner.

Ruo Ruo was overjoyed. This was great.

But, Ruo Ruo was happy for a while, because, immediately, he objected, No way, it's getting dark, I have to go back now, in a while Ah Wu will come back, hehe, I want to play darts, whoever loses will have to write a note, but it's fun, Ruo Ruo, I'm not staying, I'm going back. With that, he lifted his leg and was about to leave.

Hey … Ruoruo hurriedly called out to him, Come back, you can't leave.

When he turned around, he smiled, Don't worry, I'll bring you what you want tomorrow. Hehe, since it's like this, you should let me go.

No, Su Ming, let's have dinner together.

I don't want to eat your Lunar Child's food. I don't have a Lunar child, so I'm leaving. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared, leaving behind only Ruoruo in a daze as she left in that direction.

After a long while, Cui'er said softly, Miss, do we need to add something?

Huh? She asked in confusion, not understanding what Cui'er meant.

Didn't I just say that I would bring something for you? Is there something wrong with Cui'er that we haven't prepared for the young lady? Cui'er asked in confusion, she really did not understand what A'ch wanted to bring over.

Ruo Ruo's heart tensed up. Look at how unconcealed Lei Qi was, it really caused her death. Oh, it's nothing. She said that the bowls and plates at her place are really beautiful. She wants to show them to me.

Pfft, Cui'er wanted to hold back her laughter, So it's this, tonight I will send someone to bring some of the finest and most exquisite sets from the palace, this young lady can pick any of them, if you like it you can stay in our Fragrance Pavilion.

Lotus Fragrance Pavilion? Since when did she live in a place called the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion?

That's right, the Emperor named this place after him. He said that this place will be called Fragrant Lotus Pavilion from now on.

Hehe, that's nice to listen to, let's call it the Incense Lotus Pavilion. In the meantime, help me find a few porcelain vases, I want to put them in my room for decoration. If a person wanted to leave, they could simply call themselves whatever they liked here.

Okay, after Miss has eaten Cui'er's dinner, I'll send someone to prepare it. Miss will think about it again, is there anything else you're still missing?

He really didn't understand why Cui Er and Xi Men Ruoxue would suddenly treat him so well. However, since he had given her the chance, she didn't need to use it for nothing, since there were too many of those things. He didn't care about it at all, so he just added on, I want a purse, various pouches, and spices. When the time came, she would bring them all with her. Hmph! Once she returned, she would never come back. At that time, she would be like a rich woman who could be sold at will.

Just think, it's beautiful.

After Cui Er finished serving her, she seriously went to prepare the things that she had just ordered.

Looking at Cui Er's back, Ruo Ruo sighed with a bit of guilt. She did not want to lie to Cui'er, but when she thought of Xi Men Rui Xue, she had to leave.

From the time of the accident until now, she had never heard of the punishment of the empress dowager, but yesterday she had clearly fallen into the water with the empress dowager.

He was still protecting Yun Ru Xi, and the two of them had something to do with this. Ruo Ruo's memories had told her about this, and the people in the Qin Residence had also quietly discussed this with each other behind her back. After all, Qin Zhilan was the Queen that Xi Men Rui had decided on long ago.

When he thought back to that scene in his memory, the meaning behind the servant girl's words clearly meant that Xi Men Rui Xue and Yun Ru Xi were having an affair.

Heavens, how could this be?

No matter what, Yun Ruixi was still the mother of Ximen Ruixue, it would be incest for him to be with her. However, once he thought about how Ximen Ruixue had carried her in the carriage that day, he was sure that the relationship between Ximen Ruixue and Yun Ruixi was not ordinary.

He couldn't sleep no matter how he thought about it. His good mood immediately disappeared.

Child, her child.

He didn't know whether to blame himself or not, but tears started streaming down his face. He couldn't stop himself from falling into a daze.

Quietly turning to the bed, she said in a muffled voice, Put out the candle flame. You can all go out now. I want to sleep.

After receiving amnesty, the palace maid that was on duty for Cui'er went to extinguish the candle, causing the room to turn dark.

The night of early autumn was neither cold nor hot, but it was actually quite comfortable. Fortunately, it was such a day. If it was a summer's time, it would be uncomfortable.

A ray of light suddenly flashed in the darkness. When he turned around to look, he found that it was already raining outside the window.

CHAPTER 103 - TOUCHING

The sound of the rain was like a small piece of music, moving one's heart.

Listening quietly, however, made one's heart grow more and more sorrowful.

Tears welled up in her eyes. Thinking of her own viciousness when she fell into the water, and the weight of her remorse, she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Faintly looking out of the window at the drizzling rain and swaying branches, Cui Er came in. She seemed to think that she had gone to sleep, so she went out again, leaving her wandering in the dark room by herself.

It was unknown how long he had been watching for, but in his trance, a person had already appeared in front of his bed.

Even if she could not see his face clearly, she still knew that he was Ximen Ruixue. The aura unique to him was something that other men did not have, and it was something she could not learn from. Thus, she often thought that if others were to disguise themselves as him, she would be able to recognize him instantly.

Silently, Ruo Ruo didn't even dare to breathe. She must have thought that she was asleep.

Ruo'er, why are you so stupid? She was just thinking whether she had misheard when she realised that she had not misheard. She had heard him call out to Ruo'er with her own ears, and that that wasn't Xi'er or Lan'er, nor was it any other woman's name. It was the name Qin Zhiruo.

His body slowly leaned forward, and the strong scent from his nose assaulted her face, but she did not dare to move.

With half squinting eyes, Xi Men Rui Xue, who was in front of Ye Zichen, laid down beside her.

One day, he was so close to her, so close that it reminded her of the two times when their skin had made contact. The next moment, she couldn't help but blush and feel her heart palpitate.

She wanted to resist, but she did not dare to move. She did not know why, but at this moment, she did not want him to know that she was still awake.

His body was already pressed against his broad chest, and he made her heart start beating wildly. Heavens, she swore that as long as she was hugged by him like this and kept lying down, she would definitely go crazy.

That would be too hard.

However, Xi Men Rui Xue did not have the slightest intention to let go of her. She embraced him and he laid down beside her calmly. It was as if he wanted to sleep together with her.

Wu, this is just like being punished, if I really don't know how long I can last.

He just lay there silently, hoping that time would pass faster before he left.

I really don't understand him. All the women in this palace belong to him, so why does he want none of them?

Fatigue, also more sleepless sleep, always come with a slight pain under the body, the child is gone, that is a kind of torture.

He laid there quietly for around ten minutes. Just when he thought that he would fall asleep just like that, just when he was about to force himself to do so, his other hand moved stealthily to her face. His fingers caressed the dried up tear stains on her face and he said: Idiot, stop crying, tell me, was that child truly made by Yun Ru Xi?

This question scared Zhiruo silly, how did he guess it?

There was no response, and she didn't even dare to breathe. She held her breath as she heard him say, She already has a child. Why didn't you tell me earlier?

If she told him what to do, then that child wouldn't necessarily be his, it was very likely that it was that beggar. When the time came, she would be even more embarrassed as she wouldn't want to see Yun Ru Xi arrogantly walk in front of her and say: Qin Zhiruo, look, you're pregnant with a beggar. Tell me, what if this child doesn't want it?

No, she did not want to suffer that kind of torture, so she had never thought of letting a third person know about the child. But now that the child was gone, everyone in the palace knew about it.

Do you know? I thought about it one day, and I went to see her. She said that she really did not do it on purpose, and she said that you pulled her into the pool with you, and Yi Ruo, Cui'er said that you did not even call for help when you fell into the water. Or do you not want the child at all?

His every word shocked her to the point that her whole body was covered in cold sweat. Xi Men Rui Xue was like a psychiatrist. She had guessed everything with absolute certainty.

In a panic, he listened with his hands covered in sweat that stuck to his skin. However, he started to speak again, Zhiruo, do you want to see that beggar? If you want, can I arrange for you to meet him?

His voice was very soft, but it aroused Ruo Ruo's curiosity. His gentle voice made her forget that she was just pretending to be asleep. She unexpectedly replied, Okay.

The hand holding her suddenly tightened, Ruo Ruo, you really want to see him?

Ah … No … She was possessed, how could she have answered him? Now that it was over, she had to answer him whenever he spoke.

You just said that, didn't you?

Xi Men Rui Xue, let go of me first. It will be hard for you to even breathe while hugging me.

Not at all. The domineering strength that Xi Men Rui Xue had was back.

Didn't you like Yun Ru Xi? She fell into the water too, you should have gone to accompany her. I don't need you to stay here, I don't want to see you either. Thinking of how merciless he had been to her in the carriage, her heart ached painfully.

Ruo Ruo, I said that I want you to believe me. Do you remember?

She shook her head, Ximen Ruixue, what can you take to make me believe you?

Wait, I brought someone to meet you. As he spoke, he unexpectedly loosened his grip on her, and gracefully rose to his feet. When he left her, his warmth followed. The feeling of emptiness that accompanied him caused her to suddenly feel somewhat dejected. She didn't say anything, waiting to see what he wanted to do.

He walked out of her room, leaving only one room for her.

I wonder what he wants to do? I wonder who he's bringing? Some even suspected that he just found a place and left, never to return.

Heh heh, she must have turned silly. He was simply putting on another show. He was trying to trick her into listening to everything he just said.

Perhaps he already knew that she wasn't asleep at all.

God, it was only when she thought of this that she realized she might have walked into the trap he had set for her.

Just as she was hesitating, there was a rustling at the door, as if deliberately trying to attract her attention.

Ruo Ruo raised her head and looked over. A candle flame instantly lit up the room. Although it was not as bright as the modern sunlight, it was enough to see the person in front of her clearly.

To be exact, it was a man.

Ruo Ruo was stunned.

That head of white hair, that appearance, and that stooped figure was precisely the beggar who bought her the whole night at the Fragrance Pavilion.

Her hands were twisted by the horn, she panicked, Don't... Don't come over." She said she wanted to see it, but when she did, she panicked as she couldn't remember what happened that night.

She was afraid to see this beggar. She was really afraid. That was her nightmare for life.

However, the beggar holding the candle did not stop, he soon arrived in front of the bed, one step at a time.

The candle flame shone even more clearly on him.

But now that he was so close, Ruo Ruo discovered that he didn't smell even the slightest bit of filth that should have belonged to the beggar.

However, there was a fragrance emanating from his body, You … You … Ruo Ruo was stunned.

That was not sandalwood, it really was not sandalwood, that was the smell of agarwood.

She really didn't think that things would turn out like this.

Yes, when the beggar appeared that night, she did not see Xi Men Rui Xue.

But before that happened, he was still in the Fragrant Pavilion, lying on another woman's bed and kissing her lips …

Upon thinking of this, Zhiruo trembled all over. Impossible, impossible. Ximen Ruixue, you lied to me. You lied to me.

Yes, I lied to you. I lied to you, that's not me. But, you're wrong, that's me. The elderly voice sounded like it belonged to the beggar who was shouting 560,000 yuan in front of the booth.

The person in front of him made it impossible for him to associate him with Xi Men Rui Xue.

Why? Trembling, she hurriedly asked, she really didn't understand.

Because of the snow grass, if the beggar did not torture you that night and Yun Ruoxi did not hand over the snow grass, then your poison would not be cured. Idiot, why can't you believe me? Why did you want to kill our child with your own hands? All of his tests made him understand that Qin Zhi didn't want the child to live at all. She already knew that she was pregnant, but the child was the first in his life and the only one he wanted a woman to have. So he never used any drugs on her.

However, they didn't expect that the only woman he gave them the privilege of killing their children with his own hands.

At this moment, if she were to look at him, Xi Men Rui Xue really wanted to strangle her.

He didn't know if this was love, but he had never liked Qin Zhiruo before. He didn't like her at all, and every time he went to Qin Manor, he only wanted to tease her.

Or perhaps it was her initial change that attracted his attention.

He thought that if he let her leave, she definitely wouldn't return to the Qin Residence, but would absolutely elope with Qin Zhiqing.

But she didn't.

She chose to let him send her back to Qin Manor.

This aroused his curiosity.

The second shock she brought him was the chili concoction.

He was clearly being played by her for a whole night, but he actually couldn't hate her.

It was also from that night onwards that she had thoroughly aroused his curiosity.

CHAPTER 104 - SOMNOLENCE

So, unknowingly, he started to get closer to this woman. This woman made him more and more unwilling to let go of her. Even the hand that Qin Zhiqing had placed on her was so inconvenient to look at.

This, should be royal father's intention.

Royal Father said that by obtaining her, he would be able to obtain a Flame Token.

However, he still couldn't understand why his father would hand over the Flame Token to Qin Zhiruo.

She wasn't royal father's daughter at all, was it just because of Ru Fei?

But it was also royal father himself who personally ordered her death.

It's just that until now, no one knew who Ruo Ruo's father is. Or perhaps, before royal father died, he already knew, but his royal father had also brought him underground, so no one else asked.

His gaze made her tremble uncontrollably. She was frightened, really scared.

She could not help but move towards the corner of the bed. She was really afraid that Xi Men Rui Xue would break her neck in the next second.

Qin Zhiruo, tell me, do you still love that Qin Zhiqing? Isn't it?" His gaze was as cold as an arrow. If she had truly killed their child with her own hands, he really wouldn't forgive her. He definitely wouldn't forgive her.

No … No... Don't come over, Ximen Ruixue, I have never liked you. I don't want to give birth to your child. I like the clear, the person I have always liked is Qin Zhiqing. He roared, and she also screamed back in panic, her words randomly spoken.

No, I won't allow you to like him. I just won't allow you to. Qin Zhiruo, if you have Qin Zhiqing in your heart again, then I will gouge it out and give it to him. As he spoke viciously, even he himself did not know what was going on in his heart. He did not know if it was due to love, but he only knew that the woman he wanted would definitely be his.

Because he was already the emperor of Xi Jin.

She helplessly looked at the man in front of her. He seemed to have really gone mad, because she had killed his child. As a result, he actually put down the candlestick in his hands, and actually extended both of his hands towards her snow-white neck.

Heavens, his hand fell down.

Tighten.

It was tightening bit by bit.

Her breathing started to become thin. She opened her mouth with all her might, but she had never wanted to live so much.

Actually, she had never been a coward. She had never truly wanted to die.

But now the way he looked at her made her think only of death.

It was him that wanted her dead.

His hand fell.

Tighten.

It was tightening bit by bit.

Her breathing started to become thin. She opened her mouth with all her might, but she had never wanted to live so much.

Actually, she had never been a coward. She had never truly wanted to die.

But now the way he looked at her made her think only of death.

It was him that wanted her dead.

The candlelight reflected off Ruo Ruo's pale face, gradually turning purple. She didn't struggle at all. The child had been killed by her own thoughts, so she deserved to die.

At this moment, she could not say anything as she stared hollowly at Ximen Ruixue with her dark eyes.

If he wanted her dead, she had no room for resistance.

At some point, the tears in the corner of his eyes had quietly fallen, and a circle of light silently appeared amidst the candlelight.

Just a little more force from his hand and she would die.

Maybe she should say something.

Even if he couldn't say it out loud.

She opened her mouth with much effort and her voice came out in a hoarse voice, Thank you for saving me before.

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes. All the grievances were gone. There was no longer any connection between them. There was no longer any connection between them.

Xi Men Rui Xue had paid off her debt to him.

Qin Zhiruo, you can forget about us letting you go or leaving us. You are already my man, so you will be my man, and death is my ghost. He told her fiercely that his hand, which had just left her neck, was still trembling.

Her breathing gradually became smoother, and her purple face gradually regained its color. Ruo Ruo looked at him silently for five seconds, then said lightly, But my heart is not yours, never.

Qin Zhiruo, you …

He raised his eyebrows and chuckled. The Emperor's heart has never been so great, so we're even now.

Qin Zhiruo, even if your heart isn't here, don't think of leaving the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion.

Without a word, she quietly turned her head and faced the bed, never looking back at him again.

Just waiting for the weather to clear up, she could cross back to modern times with the watch in her hand.

It was unknown when the person in front of her bed had left her room. Soon, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of rain falling through the window. The sound was like a lullaby, causing her to fall asleep unconsciously.

She no longer cried after seeing Xiao Yuezi, but when she woke up, she could no longer smile.

When she saw him, Ruo Ruo said to Cui'er in a casual manner: Then I'll make the kind of imperial tea that I made yesterday. She didn't understand tea, but she remembered that he had said it tasted good.

After taking Cui Er away, he said to Su Li, Where are the things? Give them to me. If she was really afraid that Ximen Ruixue would not let him come, then it would be really hard for her to even get her watch.

I knew that you would want it the moment we met. Here, I'll give it to you. He took it out from his sleeve and handed it back to Ruo Ruo. He was already used to Xi Jin's clothes and clothes, at least, she wouldn't be walking around in a bikini anymore. If she was shot by Xi Men Rui, she didn't want to experience it anymore.

Seeing that the door was still closed, before Cui'er came back, Zhiruo hurriedly took the watch and fiddled with it in her hand, looking at it again and again, just like an ordinary watch, Su Ming, how do I use it?

Carry it on your wrist and point it at 1. That represents modern times. If you point at 5, you will be able to travel back to an even older era.

Oh, I have. He pressed his hand down, but the watch only flashed for a second before it stopped moving.

Like I said, the battery is out of battery. We can only bask in the sun for a while and maybe it will recover some electricity. That way, we can turn on the watch and go back home.

Looking up at the sky outside the window, it was still raining heavily, she didn't know when it would clear up. When she looked back, she found that his shoes were wet, Su Ming, I'll get Cui Er to get a new pair for you, if not, you won't feel comfortable with your feet getting wet.

However, just as she finished speaking, the voice of a young eunuch came from outside the door, Miss A'min, the Martial King has returned. He has asked you to return quickly. He has brought something interesting for you.

His eyes lit up, What is it?

You'll know when you get back.

Yiruo, I'll come send you off when the weather clears.

Her words sounded like she was reluctant to part with him. However, the person that she was wholeheartedly going to meet was Xi Men Rui Wu. Xi Men Rui Wu's gift had piqued her interest.

Ruo Ruo shook her head. Compared to her, Su Ming's personality was totally different.

He thought that it was Xi Men Rui Wu's intention. He did not expect that after he ran out of the door, there was no one else in her room other than the palace maids.

Cui Er, go and ask why A-Hui isn't here today? He had been bored all day, but the next day he did not come.

This … While hesitating, Cui'er wanted to say something, but she hesitated.

If you have anything to say, just say it, there's no need to beat around the bush.

Miss, the palace has recently been busy with the matter of the talent show, so we request the palace masters and servants to stay in their own palaces when they have nothing to do, so Miss Ji Lei is unable to leave.

Cui Er had said it very lightly, but she had said exactly the same thing. She smiled faintly and asked, Is there anyone from the Qin family that wants to participate?

Yes, the second lady of the Qin family has been chosen and sent to the Palace of Peace where the beautiful ladies live.

No wonder she hadn't seen Xi Men Rui Xue in two days. It turned out that he was busy choosing his woman.

However, looking out the window, it was still raining. The curtain of rain seemed to be unable to pull up no matter what and would never stop.

He couldn't calm his heart or calm his breathing. He didn't know if it was due to some other reason, but if he was actually sick that night, then this disease would cause him to suffer from a constant high fever that would make him dizzy.

However, before she fell ill, she had hidden the watch that he had given her in one of the most secluded places in the room. As soon as she found an opportunity, she would leave.

In a daze, it seemed like Imperial Physician Zhang had arrived. He took the pulse, and the medicine was quickly delivered to her.

However, she was too drowsy to drink at all.

In front of the bed, two palace maids were feeding her in turns. No one knew what to make of Ruo Ruo on the bed. The emperor had said that he would do his best to take care of her, but the emperor had never come back to the Fragrance Pavilion again.

He didn't understand the position of Miss Qin in the emperor's heart. It didn't seem right to be nice to her, but it didn't seem right to be bad to her either.

Rumors of her were flying everywhere outside the palace. They all said that the emperor kept Miss Qin for the sake of that Flame Token, but Miss Qin, in order to preserve her life, said that she didn't remember where that thing was.

However, this was not a long-term solution.

After taking one mouthful after another, the medicine was placed next to her lips and spilled all over her face. She then hurriedly wiped it clean, causing the two palace maids to be extremely flustered.

What, you can't feed it? Cui'er turned around and saw the sap at the corner of Ruo Ruo's mouth. She was truly anxious, originally Ruo Ruo was still well on the first day when Ah Ming came, but ever since the emperor had come, she had become quite ill. Imperial Physician Zhang had just said that if she didn't treat her body soon, she would be left with an incurable illness for the rest of her life.

CHAPTER 105 - HEARTACHE

I really don't understand what the emperor is thinking. On that day, Yun Ru Xi clearly brought Ruoruo into the water together, but the emperor did not reprimand her at all. It was really biased, but Cui'er felt that the emperor must have said something to her.

Despite being sick for two days and losing consciousness for two days, no matter how Cui'er tried, Ruo Ruo couldn't wake up.

He fell asleep, as if he was looking at a child that had yet to take shape.

She couldn't go back, but her heart was always filled with guilt. She always felt that she had let down that child.

He always thought that it was a child that even his father did not know about. However, in the end, he found out that the child was Ximen Ruixue's.

But so what? He almost strangled her to death.

Ruo Ruo only dreamed of those fragmented scenes. Hearing her mumbling, Cui'er couldn't take it anymore. If this went on, I'm afraid Yue Zi won't be able to finish sitting down. Ruo Ruo will die.

No matter what, she must definitely meet Xi Men Rui Xue. She did not believe that Xi Men Rui Xue would just watch as if she was going to die.

Didn't they say that she had to take good care of Ruoruo?

Although the day when the Emperor left, he seemed to be very angry, but he clearly told her that if anything happened to her, she would be the only one to ask.

After two days and two nights of watching Ruo Ruo, Cui Er hadn't slept for a long time. She stumbled to Xi Men Rui Xue's sleeping quarters. Tonight, no matter how late it was, she would wait for him to come back.

The rain continued to fall, covering the palace lamp in front of the door with a layer of hazy mist. He stood in the rain with a lantern in his hand and an umbrella in his hand.

However, after three knocks, Cui Er did not see the palanquin that belonged to Xi Men Rui Xue.

Anxious, I'm afraid that the owner of the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion has already drowned for a while.

All of this happened too fast, so fast that it caught people off guard.

From afar, a shadowy figure came running towards them. Cui Er looked over in a hurry, like Fu Qing. She stood in the rain and shouted, Fu Qing, is that you?

That figure suddenly appeared in a flash, Cui Er, why are you here?

Where's the emperor? Cui Er looked in the direction that Fu Qing had come from. She only wanted to see Xi Men Rui Xue.

At Luan Phoenix Palace, the empress dowager is currently discussing matters of national importance with the empress dowager.

Fu Qing, Miss Qin is about to die. Once you see the emperor, inform the emperor that if he doesn't want Miss Qin to live anymore, then he won't need to go to the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion. It will only be a day or two. If he still wants her to live, then he will do his best as soon as possible. After saying all that in one breath, Cui Er rushed towards the Fragrant Lotus Pavilion with her umbrella. He was in the mood to flirt with Yun Ru Xi, and when she thought of that woman, she wanted to stab her. However, Xi Men Rui Xue had protected Yun Ru Xi, and had treated her like a treasure.

Just like last time when the palace changed, the person who had spread word of the incident was clearly the Yun Family. However, in the blink of an eye, the Yun Family had changed from the Yun Family to the Qin Family.

I know. Fu Qing nodded and wordlessly ran into Ximen Ruixue's sleeping quarters. He seemed to be in a hurry to come back and get something. Soon, he disappeared into the rain mist.

Cui Er went back. Zhiruo was still unconscious, and the handkerchief soaked in the well water was already hot. She took it down and replaced it with another. Other than this Cui Er, there was no other way to keep the fever back, because she could not even feed a single drop.

Outside the window, it was dark and drizzling.

Ye Zichen sighed. Looking at the girl, it seemed like she really
